Sioux City 



IS SITUATED on the Missouri River, at an altitude 
of 1 165 feet. The United States census of 1890 g-ave 

it a population of .17,893 The business portion of the city is contined principally to the 

le\el lands alon^' the river, while the residences find pictures(iue locations on the surroundin;; 

hills. Transit is afforded hv 55 miles of electric street railwax'. Its situation beinq cominer- 

cialh' central to the richest jjrain producing rejijion in the world; its manufacturing; and 

commercial industries are naturally those promoted by and connected with agriculture. Its 

jiacking houses do a \er\" heav\- business, equalled by not more than seveti or eight cities in 

the United States. It has the largest linseed oil mill in the United States; its brick and 

potterv clays are of the most e.xcellent character, and factories are constantly being added 

for manufacturing from the raw materials produced. Twelve lines of railway enter the 

city, and the Missouri is spanned by two bridges, costing upwards of $1,500,000 each. 

Sioux City is known all over the world as "The Corn Palace City." While gigantic forces ha\e 

been expended in its building for business purposes, it has more mone}' invested in churches 

and schools than any city of its size in the countrw It is emphatically a good city in which 

to li\'e and do business.
